Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Ironic is an Incubated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare
|
|
metal (as opposed to virtual) machines by leveraging common technologies such
|
|
as PXE boot and IPMI to cover a wide range of hardware, while supporting
|
|
pluggable drivers to allow vendor-specific functionality to be added.
|
|
|
|
If one thinks of traditional hypervisor functionality (eg, creating a VM,
|
|
enumerating virtual devices, managing the power state, loading an OS onto the
|
|
VM, and so on), then Ironic may be thought of as a *hypervisor API* gluing
|
|
together multiple drivers, each of which implement some portion of that
|
|
functionality with respect to physical hardware.
|
|
|
|
Ironic should be considered Beta quality as of the Icehouse release, and will
|
|
make the best effort to maintain backwards compatibility from this point
|
|
forward. Release notes are available here:
|
|
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Ironic/ReleaseNotes/Icehouse
|
|
|
|
The developer documentation provided here is continually kept up-to-date based
|
|
on the latest code, and may not represent the state of our APIs at any given
|
|
release.
